Seamless fashion show
Red hats by Bea Camacho
A runway fashion show featuring innovative works of interactive and technology-based design. This stunning collection, created by current and previous students of MIT, Harvard, RISD, Mass Art and Parsons School of Design, features real clothes that inspire and provoke. Emceed by MIT Media Lab's Chris Csikszentmihályi. Beats by DJ Technician.
Now then, this pic on the wmmna site features knitwear by Bea Camacho as you can see, and there is an intriguing mention of a crochet (sorry for the 'c' word) performance piece by the same artist from the 1st seamless show with a video you can watch of her 11 durational performance, Enclose, where she crocheted herself into a cocoon with red yarn.
Enclose by Bea Camacho
The project is about concealment, self-preservation, isolation and duration.
Presumably the 2nd show will feature intriguing work in a similar vein!

I have a new word for you... based on last post... "Hasselhoffian."
As in, "That display of knitted modern art is either cool or Hasselhoffian, I haven't decided."

I love that knitted cocoon. That is exactly what I need to get me through this Newcastle winter. I could have all my meals liquidised and fed through a straw! I could live on brown ale and liquidised chips!.....hm, not sure about how to deal with the other end of digestion though.....
